Shuklaphanta National Park beckons wildlife enthusiasts
Shuklaphanta National Park, which is home to swamp deers, is a major tourist attraction in the Far West region of Nepal.
Shuklaphanta National Park was initially a hunting reserve in 1969.
Despite being the smallest national park among those in the Tarai region of the country, it has a distinct identity and plays an important role in wildlife conservation.
The huge grasslands offer suitable habitats for swamp deers which can be seen in abundance in the park.
Of the 305 square kilometres area of the park, the grasslands occupy 55 square kilometres.
According to a recently conducted census, the park is home to 2,314 swamp deer, of which 858 are adult females and 262 adult males. The population of swamp deer has remained stable since 2014.
